AJM pulls for the Washington Generals.
Not sure on this but I think they can't monitor who attends away games. So they award points to the purchaser regardless of whether they go or who uses the ticket. Away teams spread out sections, etc. so LSU couldn't send a liaison to every gate with a card swiper thing making sure you have your tiger card. I'm not 100% on that but I think that's why...they still want to encourage away game attendance, they just can't monitor it.
It's about money. LSU probably makes a good bit more money off home game attendance than it does off away attendance (IDK how much revenue sharing there is on a ticket by ticket basis). Plus there are always 3 or 4 games a year that not many students care to go to, and they want to fill those up.

I had the same problem a few years back and that's my rationale. I'd say that one away game isn't enough. I got tickets to the Ship after attending 3 or 4 away games plus all home games and it was still close.
